A typical cryogenic fluid storage vessel or container includes an inner tank for retaining a supply of cryogenic liquid and an outer jacket surrounding the inner tank. The outer jacket is spaced from the inner tank to create an insulation chamber there between. The insulation chamber typically has a vacuum created therein. Thus, the storage container is configured to reduce radiant and conductive heat transfer between the tanks in order to reduce vaporization of the cryogenic liquid stored in the inner tank.
While prior cryogenic fluid storage containers may perform in an adequate manner to store cryogenic fluids, they are not easy to maintain in a working manner over time, can be difficult to operate, and can be difficult to move or transport. This is particularly true for vertically oriented cryogenic fluid cylinders. Accordingly, there is a need for improved cryogenic fluid containers.
